RE: At what weight is recoil a problem
If you want a light gun to shoot 3" 12's I'd certainly look at an auto...a gas-operated auto.
Then again, when you're actually hunting and not target shooting the adrenaline and 'focus' of the moment is the best recoil-reduction system in existance. So...back to deleh's advice. Find something you like and can hit well with (aka it fits you) and enjoy!

Like previously said, for hunting purposes, I wouldn't really consider recoil. You shouldn't be shooting that much (unless you're shooting 3.5" mags at ducks all day) to have it impact your shooting. If, however, you are target shooting, then recoil, gun weight, and the type of shells you shoot could factor in depending on sensitive you are to recoil....some people are more than others.

Looking for new pheasant gun. At what weight does recoil become an issue for 3" 12ga and 3" 20ga? Gun will most likely be an auto, but I may still opt for a pump.
